1-5. No doubt about it! God is good—good to good people, good to the good-hearted.But I nearly missed it,missed seeing his goodness.I was looking the other way,looking up to the peopleAt the top,envying the wicked who have it made,Who have nothing to worry about,not a care in the whole wide world.
11-14. What’s going on here? Is God out to lunch?Nobody’s tending the store.The wicked get by with everything;they have it made, piling up riches.I’ve been stupid to play by the rules;what has it gotten me?A long run of bad luck, that’s what—a slap in the face every time I walk out the door.
